City Police Warning Shoppers to Cross Westmorland Road At The Lights

City Police have a message for those people who attempt to cross four lanes of traffic on Westmorland Road to get from Wal Mart to McAllister Place.........Not only are you risking life and limb but you can be charged with jaywalking. So says Sergeant Jeff LaFrance.

He says in such a high traffic area, you could do yourself some good by getting a bit of exercise and walking to the lights and crossing there.

He also advises pedestrians to extend their hand at crosswalks and even make eye contact with drivers.....Don't assume they will automatically stop just because it's a crosswalk.
